Dating back to the mid 1600s, Halbeath House started out as a stone cottage. Gradually over time, additions were incorporated into the main house, creating a spacious family home with flexible accommodation.

A porch with tiled flooring opens up into the welcoming main reception hall, with multi-fuel stove and access points in three different directions. To the left of the hall is a good-sized home office housing the original safe room and a spacious sitting room with bay windows overlooking the front garden. To the right of the reception hall, a formal drawing room and dining room lie adjacent to each other. The dining room features a multi-fuel burner and a bay window. All the main reception rooms have retained great character and original features including cornicing (salvaged and repaired by the current owners), and pine flooring.

The third access point from the reception hall leads to the rear hall which can also be accessed from the dining room. A convenient shower room is located in the rear hallway. Whilst stairs lead up to the first floor landing and the bedrooms, there are also two ground floor bedrooms and a bathroom accessed from the rear hall. This portion of the house is very versatile and could be used as an annexe to the main accommodation. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the bright and recently renovated kitchen with dining space. Dual aspect windows and patio doors provide plenty of natural light, while the kitchen in centred around a solid surface topped island. Integrated appliances include a combi-oven, coffee machine, wine cooler, boiling water tap and dishwasher. Other appliances included in the sale are the electric Rangemaster cooker with double-sized oven and induction hob, the American style fridge/freezer and the TV in the kitchen. Accessed from the kitchen, a utility room/ boot room leads out to the rear garden, and also feeds into a cold larder with original stone shelves. Appliances in this room include a washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher and freezer.

From the rear hallway, stairs lead up to the first floor landing, passing by pretty thistle-inspired stained glass windows. The principal bedroom with en suite bathroom is located on the right, with ornate fireplace and views over the front garden. Three further double bedrooms are located on the first floor, one with an en suite shower room, and the other two serviced by a bathroom.

The rear garden features a newly created parking area for multiple vehicles, with an EV charging point (22kw fast charger) located next to the plant room and rear driveway. There are two patio/ terrace areas for al fresco dining either side of the garden store/ workshop. A path leads from the rear of the property down towards the shed, passing by a two storey outhouse which has planning permission to be converted into further accommodation. Fruit trees, landscaped flowerbeds and lawned areas are all found in the rear garden. There is also a gardener's WC.
